This promo for HBO’s Game of Thrones, perhaps the current best show on television, randomly features Carmelo Anthony. Why this is, who can really say? But it’s a thing, and here it is:

Honestly, not to totally geek out on you all here, but I’m embarrassingly excited for the Season 3 premiere of this show, and clearly so is Carmelo. It’s like we’re the same guy.

I’ve settled into something of a nightly routine of turning to my wife and saying in my most dramatic cadence, “When you play the game of thrones, you win … or YOU DIE!!!” A ritual that appears to be slowly wearing thin. At least for her. I still find the exercise wholly satisfying and amusing.

Anyway, this promo makes absolutely zero sense to me, but there it is.
